“I served my motherland to the best of my ability and I will continue to do so in the future,” former Sri Lankan president Gotabaya Rajapaksa has said, as he defended himself in his resignation letter to the Speaker which was read out during a special session of Parliament on Saturday. Sri Lanka’s parliament met briefly to announce the vacancy in the presidency following the resignation of Rajapaksa, who fled to the country on Wednesday after a popular uprising against him for mishandling the country’s economic crisis. The resignation letter sent by Rajapaksa from Singapore to Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena was read during the 13-minute special session. The letter was read out in the House by the secretary of the Parliament, Dhammika Dassanayake.
